Hi Becks, yes not far away at all! Have chicken pox right now :-s How are you?

Hey AnnPan, hope you're okay. It's funny, today i was diagnosed with chicken pox. Wasn't given antivirals (should i?) and was told to take anti-hystimine tablets and apply calamine lotion.

Thanks everyone. Self-sufficiency for me is only in its formative stages but finding this forum seems like a really good step in the right direction. Great to read you all on here.

Thanks all of you. Yes Milly lots of things i need to consider instead of jumping in at the deepend. Maybe i will take some time off within the next couple of months to get out there and see for myself some of these places again with a different outlook what with what i am now considering. Clara, i ...

Wwoofing looks very good - what sort of farm were you working on? What sorts of things were you doing there?

Yes i really would love to move to one of these countires.

Anyone over there? Would love to ish out there. Can anyone offer any inspirational comments? Thanks.

I haven't been to China but was in Nepal. I can't really offer much specific advice except take as little luggage as possible!

I used very little of what i took and it all ended being a big chore having it with me. Most stuff you'd easily be able to get out there.

Hope you have fun there.

Really into my vinyl records - one thing i'd find it hard to do without i guess. I'm big into most music but i guess mainly 70s prog jazz soul psych type stuff. Any other fans on here?

Welcome along! I lived in Reading a while back - you'll have to tell me how to make ginger beer as i love the stuff :-)

Where do you get the mushrooms to make kombocha? i used to buy it a lot from the local shop.
